The most popular usecase is to synchronize a server with a local folder and use a set of other programs to change the local events and contacts. Vdirsyncer can then synchronize those changes back to the server. However, vdirsyncer is not limited to synchronizing between clients and servers. It can also be used to synchronize calendars and/or addressbooks between two servers directly. It aims to be for calendars and contacts what OfflineIMAP is for emails.

  • Caldav on a Mobile Device
    Master Thesis CalDAV on a Mobile Device Martin Hellaeus April 4, 2007 Department of Computer Science Lund Institute of Technology Supervisor: Lennart Ohlsson Abstract There are today many solutions for exchanging calendar information. How- ever, there is no open standard for this yet. This has resulted in many different solutions that are not able to fully communicate and exchange cal- endar data. A proposal to solve this is CalDAV that is intended to be a standard protocol for transport of calendar data over HTTP. This thesis presents the calendaring situation of today and, if and what CalDAV can improve. Another topic that is dealt with is if CalDAV is suited also for mobile devices. During the work an application has been developed. It is a calendar client that uses the CalDAV protocol to connect to servers and fetch calendar data from it. The application is intended for use in a mobile device.

    Fine Turnings Seattle Chapter, American Association of Woodturners May 2017 www.seattlewoodturners.org Our demonstrator for May is Beth Ireland. She will be demonstrating how to carve leaves, make spirals or repeat carved patterns on your bowls, boxes and spindles. Her demo lays out the order of marking, holding and carving different patterns on turned objects. Carving tools and sharpening will also be covered. She entered Buffalo State College with a desire to be an Art teacher, earning a Bach- elor’s in Art Education followed by Mas- ter’s degree in Sculpture from the Massa- chusetts College of Art. Her path has been varied; cabinetmaker, furniture maker, woodturner, lecturer, and instructor. Beth Ireland draws upon her lifetime of pro- fessional skills to explore sculpture, architec- ture and relational aesthetics. Her belief in the power of the object drives her work, exploring the idea of memory locked in objects and the creation of the object as a visible symbol of memory.
